Chapter 29 New Year
The first year of Tianyun of the Song Dynasty ushered in New Year's Eve in a heavy snow, and the big event that happened in the first year of Tianyun was the only thing. One thing was that the Maple King disappeared for more than three years and returned to the Song Dynasty to take charge of the inspection house. The second thing was naturally the destruction of the Yunzhou family.
Both the Qingtian God Religion and other forces smelled the ambitions of the Song Dynasty from these two things. At this time, the Song Dynasty was not as alert to all parties as the outside world on New Year's Eve, but lived the New Year's Eve safely.
Both the emperor and the people are happy to welcome the arrival of the second year of Tianyun. At this time, at night, Lin'an City is full of the sound of "beep" firecrackers. Both the rich and noble families and the common people hang big red lanterns at the gate, and there is a new door god on the door. It was not the sound of laughter rushing through the courtyard to the street.
In the huge Fengwang Mansion, only Fengwang and Tang Bo sat in the backyard, and the other bodyguards and maids had been asked by the Fengwang to go home to spend New Year's Eve with their parents, and Xiao Qing also returned to the Piaomiao Pavilion a few days ago. So the huge Maple Palace was so deserted on New Year's Eve.
"Tang Bo, I've been lonely on New Year's Eve in the past few years when I'm away," Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"In the past few years when the prince was away, the old slave often thought about when the prince would come back in this courtyard." Tang Bo replied
After listening to this, Zhao Feng said with a faint expression, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Tang"
"What the prince said there, the prince was a slave watching and growing up. And when the prince left, he also told the old slave to take good care of the Feng Palace. Tang Bo smiled and said
After hearing this, Zhao Feng did not turn his head and looked at the moon in the sky. Tonight's moon was not red but white. Only on the night of New Year's Eve will the moon turn white, and maybe Pluto is also on New Year's Eve.
After New Year's Eve, it was the first day of the lunar new year, and the Song Dynasty also officially ushered in the second year of Tianyun. The streets of Lin'an have been extremely lively since the early morning, and they are full of joy. Countless people on the street are walking around wearing new clothes and carrying gifts. Seeing people, whether they know or not, is "Happy New Year", and the fastest among them is children. Because they get New Year's money on New Year's Eve, children are shuttled through the streets to buy what they want to buy.
Zhao Feng did not wear the royal palace, but walked on the streets of the outer city in an ordinary white shirt. Uncle Tang followed him. Zhao Feng smiled and looked at the lively atmosphere on the street and sighed.
Zhao Feng walked aimlessly on the streets of the outer city, looking at the laughing children and adults smiling. And the countless hawking on the street has also made Lin'an City more of the usual atmosphere during the Spring Festival.
No matter how powerful the places of the Song Dynasty are, no matter how powerful the cultivation of those unknown places is. The common people of the Song Dynasty were not disappointed in the Song Dynasty because of the existence of the college, because of their trust in the court officials and the emperor.
After five hundred efforts, the emperors and princes of the Song Dynasty really felt the peace and prosperity for the civilians under the rule of the Song Dynasty. The military protection of the open border army of the imperial policy and the deterrence of the Taoshan Academy outside Lin'an City made Pingming of the Song Dynasty feel extremely reassuring.
Perhaps in the hearts of the Song Dynasty, they prefer to believe in the imperial court and the royal family rather than the Qingtian God religion. Maybe one day when the people of the Song Dynasty really encounter danger, the people of the Song Dynasty will also put down everything in their hands to protect and defend a dynasty like the Song Dynasty.
"Quick, go to the altar today to drink and worship the emperor," suddenly said a person next to him.
After hearing this, Zhao Feng was stunned and held a heavenly sacrifice on the first day of the Chinese New Year every year to pray for good weather and the well-being of the people this year. However, a priest offering sacrifices to heaven is the main sacrifice, but how can it be the main sacrifice of the abbot of the outer city in person this year? Zhao Feng couldn't figure out the reason, so he followed the crowd to the altar on the back of the outer city. Although the Song Dynasty did not believe in the teachings of the Qingtian God Religion, and the sacrifice to heaven was just to win a good lottery.
At this time, the altar was already crowded, and the dark crowd completely surrounded the whole altar. The location of the better teahouse near the altar is also overcrowded. Zhao Feng can only stand on the periphery and can't see the situation inside at all.
"Why did you come to the abbot of the outer city in person this year?" At this time, a dark-skinned man beside Zhao Feng asked.
"You don't know that, right? It was the emperor who gave the order himself," a middle-aged man next to him replied
"Aren't you talking nonsense? I don't know if it's your majesty's will, but why does your majesty want to worship the emperor's altar to the sky?" The dark man said depressedly
"I don't know," the middle-aged man said.
The dark man said that he continued to look at the center of the earth.
At this time, the ceremony of the altar to sacrifice to heaven has begun, and countless chambermaids have presented sacrifices such as pigs and cows on the altar. On the stairs of the altar, there are not court guards, but all warlocks in yellow robes. The wine toast stood at the bottom of the altar of the earth holding a roll of yellow paper and silk in his hand and quietly waiting for the arrival of the auspicious time.
Whether it is the altar of heaven in the inner city or the altar of the outer city, it is the abbot of Lanwan's secret place, and the altar of heaven is the place where the emperor's ancestors must be present, and the royal family members of the nobles must be present, and the altar is to hope that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe.
It didn't take long to hear a loud shout "the beginning of the sacrifice". At this time, the extremely noisy crowd immediately calmed down after hearing the sound.
The wine drink standing under the altar slowly raised the paper and silk in his hand and walked to the high platform in the middle of the earth altar step by step. Every time the wine drink passed by a yellow-robed warlock, the yellow-robed warlock would write something in the air. When the wine toast came to the high platform, the words written by the original yellow-robed warlock in the air immediately rotated around the high platform. At this time, the wine also knelt down and unfolded the yellow silk in his hand to read the sacrificial text.
The ceremony took more than an hour to end. At this time, the wine on the rooftop put the finished sacrificial text on the high platform and left the altar. The sacrificial text should be placed on the high platform of the altar for a whole year and wait for the new sacrificial text to appear next year. After the end of the local altar festival, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Zhao Feng looked at the fact that it was not early and the altar was over, but it was snowing again. Zhao Feng looked up at the corners of his mouth and said a few words to go back to Feng's mansion.
At this time, the elder brother of Xueyuan Shangshuyuan in front of the holy place of the demon religion in the north quietly looked at the born man Tuoye in the unknown place of the holy place of the demon religion in front of him. At this time, the countless dead disciples of the demon sect lay on the snowfield.
"I didn't expect that the first day of the New Year would be such a big surprise." Takuno said with a holy weapon in his hand, and the eldest brother of the college did not say anything.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, why on earth did you come here?" Takuno said the name of the eldest brother of the college, which was a little funny and extremely taboo.
"Take something," said Lu Xiao's novel.
